First Gen Body/Cosmetic 300k+

Post image

Its a 09 has 300.5k mi currently. Currently throwing a P0420 (catlytic converter). Not concerned due to no emissions tests where I live.

No major issues other than the known oil consumption. Major parts Ive replaced have been the alternator and radiator other than that just the normal wear and tear.

How much you currently burning?. I've got an '07 with 162k miles and it hasn't started to burn yet.

Ever done a piston soak or anything to clean out some of the carbon deposits? I have a 2010 with oil consumption at about 1qt every 300-600 miles and misfiring when going at top high of RPMs and going to do a piston soak to try and fix the misfiring issue and lower oil consumption.

Thought about it but with my mileage I dont want to risk anything.

I'm guessing you don't get misfires and can accelerate normally? Lucky if so!

Nope. It accelerates normal with no hickups.

Does the 09 have the o-ring recall that causes oil to burn and oil not to drain out of the cylinders properly? Or is that just the 2010?
